Subject: separate out leveldb source into Alien::LevelDB
Instead of bundling an aging distribution of the LevelDB source with the module, split it out into a separate distribution, Alien::LevelDB that first tries to locate an installed version of the library on the system, and if not found, then builds it from source, possibly even fetching fresher sources. There are many other library bindings on CPAN that do this.

In general it's good idea, I like it. If I knew the Alien before I would do it... Maybe I will fix it during some major upgrade of the library. Thanks, Martin Dne Út 03.dub.2012 23:45:53, blue napsal(a): Show quoted text
